Why are Jim Jones and so many New Yorkers mad at Lil Yachty?

In episode 24 of A Safe Space podcast, Lil Yachty opined about the dressing sense of New Yorkers and many people construed it as him saying that New York people, especially ones from the Bronx, have zero fashion sense. Speaking to co-host MitchGoneMad and New York rapper Cash Cobain, he commented,

“I don’t think there’s shit goin’ on when it comes to New York fashion."

Thereafter, Yachty and Mitch named brands like Amiri, Purple, Hellstar, and others and commented that most people in New York always wear these brands and aren't stylish. Thereafter, Lil Yachty dissed the dressing sense of people from Queens, Bronx before talking about his hometown of Atlanta.

According to the rapper, even Atlanta folks dress terribly and it is only him who has a good fashion sense.

“It’s just me, myself, and I. I stand on a hill alone. That’s all I know. I can’t speak for nobody else but myself."

Lil Yachty's words have triggered a backlash from several big names in the industry over the last few days.
